Self-portrait. Trying to get my brain to be a little kinder in its judgement of my body this year.

A favorite book from my teenage years, liberated from my parents' shelf and properly ensconced on my bedside table.

Hello, ladies.

Astute followers of Seven Snaps will observe that this double round-up only includes 12 photos rather than the series-consistent 14. Not sure where my mojo went this week - maybe it's the past two months of travel catching up to me? Maybe I was slightly embarrassed by the number of cat photos I was already planning to share? I thought about scrambling to shoot a few more, but then just decided... Bah. My blog, my rules! And if a double dose of Seven Snaps occasionally contains an insufficient number of pictures, that's life.

It's like a took a nap on the couch just for her. (The cats were happy to have us back.)

Happy new year, everyone! I have to admit that I wasn't convinced I'd actually keep up with these Seven Snaps all year long. I'll go ahead and give myself a pat on the back for accomplishing this particular New Year's Resolution. (The "finish the sweater I've been knitting for 5 years" resolution will carry over into yet another year.)
